The only reason this might be true is that same sex couples, for obvious reasons, have to go to a
lot more trouble, financially and socially to get a child than an average hetero couple. Therefore
there would be a sort of natural weeding out effect that would pair down the unfit couples. However
I would say that naturally there is no particular difference. |

I don't think it is a matter of which one loves their children more, just a matter of loving them
period. I think both do a good job [well depending on the person anways] and [should] support their
children through life. |

texttexttexttexttexttext i disagree:Two men cant educate
a child as well as a man and a woman, how could your daughter have advice from her dad or something
she is going through that his "dads" haven't. Its just plain nonsense, it goes the same for two
women trying to have a son |

Well there is one trump here that no one seems to notice. Homosexual couples have to go through
hell to get their children. So why would they go through all that crud just to be a bad parent... |

I think if anything gay people will love their children more. Because they can not take for granted
the children. They can't just have a baby so they treat it with love and as for the kids being made
fun of at school well one if people work together we can stop that and 2 it really just matters if
they have a loving home
Anyways i find gay people are nicer and not so judgemental anyhow |

There is only one way in which two gay parents cannot offer the proper support and environment that
children need: Children of gay parents tend to grow up in hostile environments.
But since that hostility is caused by rabid godbots spewing their hate, and not a fault of the gay
parents, the problem lies not in the parents but in the community around them.
There's an old, wise African saying: It takes a community to raise a child. Clearly those in the
community who hate the gay parents are failing the child, not the parents themselves. |

This is a tough one to argue because there are too many variables.
I read a study of how same-sex and opposite-sex couples fight with each other, and the data
indicated that the former are much more successful in not causing lasting damage to each other. The
reason was women know how to talk better to other women, and men to men.
You can extrapolate this to parenting. A same-sex couple that is more successful at conflict
resolution than a straight one will be better parents because the parents’ relationship is
arguably the most critical factor in teaching children about security and love -- and happiness.
How many straight couples who hate each other pass that role model of marriage on to their children?
Better for a child to view the loving, workable, and stable relationship of a long-term gay couple
than of hetero parents who fight incessantly. |

I think that they do and would. To tell the truth i think that most gay people are friendlier and
more flexible in any way shape or form and I'm not saying that couples of the opposite sex do a bad
job i just think that those of the same do it better. |

Don't know....where is your evidence for this?
My wife and I are strict with our kids, and give them what they need, not what they want. We give
them attention, but don't dote on them
They are all straight "A" students, and appear well adjusted.
I challenge any gay couple to do better.
In fact, I would observe that kids in school, known to have gay parents, would be subject to torment
and ridicule by their peers....that cannot be a good thing for development / self esteem. |

Well no, because children need both mum and dad to make them grow in a same sex couple there will
only be one sex and that is not enough we were made like dis Mum and Dad because of a reason a man
can offer a child things a female cant and a female can offer a child things a male cant and imagine
the bullying everyone will bully the child because his parent are gay it will mentally hurt the
child and i don't fink its a good idea at all! |

That is a sweeping generalization. Some couples who have children are not great parents at all. Many
couples are great parents. It all boils down to commitment. In my humble opinion the more a couple
are committed the better parents they make.
It could be argued that a higher percentage of same sex couples make better parents. But I feel
that, in any family the children never have a choice.
Pity the children who have bad parents. |

It only matters that you love the child......and you are mature enough to handle being a
parent........PERIOD |

I don't believe there's a difference. There're bastards and bitches among the homosexuals in pretty
much the same proportions as there are bastards and bitches among the heterosexuals.
Yes, kids raised in a gay household will be taught tolerance more often, but so will kids raised in
a bunch of heterosexual household. Yes, having gay parents can open a child to discrimintation from
other kids, but it can relieve the pressures, or reduce the at the least, that come with a child
discovering their sexuality. So really, there's not that much of a difference.
This topic does need to be argued, but it doesn't need to be worded the way you have. It needs to be
worded 'they raise the SAME' and then let people talk it out. That'll prevent me from having to
'side' with the people who think that homosexuals can't raise their kids as well as heterosexuals
can, just because I don't side with the people who say that they can raise them better.
Well, that's my take! Feel free to reply! |

I really don't think that gay parents can raise a child better then heterosexual parents. There is
the fact that the child will be confused as to whether being gay is normal, or not. Usually when
kids grow up with gay parents, they tend to feel as if they should be gay as well. Which really
strips them of their right to choose. |

Sexuality plays no part in someone being a good parent or not. There are several heterosexual males
and females who are worthless parents that produce and raise bastard children that grow up to also
be worthless to society!! |

Sexuality plays no part in this particular part of a relationship both hero and homosexual persons
are cable of being good and bad partners and parents. |

No they are loved and/or screwed up pretty much to the same degree. Circumstances may be different
but amount of happiness or disappointed pretty much equals out |

To nurture a child always there needs the love and affection of both the parents as the influence of
both of them are very much important for a child to grow healthily. Opposite gender couples are
always better in such cases because a child always needs to understand the importance of both the
father and mother in a family and the duties and responsibilities played by them individually. Thus
when they grow up they also get the idea as to how to deal with life and how to have a healthy
living. But in cases where couples belong to the same gender, children just only get the influence
of one side and the other side of a family remains unknown to them. Thus they may not get the idea
of life from their parents and they may not have a healthy upbringing. |

I am a Heterosexual myself and we as the Heterosexuals do not do anything different than the
'straight' couples. Well besides we like the same sex |
